    only if the distance from the hangar to shackle was measured with it. then it would be accurate. if my brains working right at least.

    So distance between mounting points, rather than actual leaf length?

    both. That way it will be easier to confirm leaf length? If they have the same distance between mounting points, it will help to confirm longer/shorter leafs.
